The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder ran for two seasons between 2001 and 2005, but has remained popular over the years. Wrice described the series as "iconic" in a recent promo featurette.
“It’s timeless. It is classic… I know it so well. So, for me to kinda like take the baton and do it, it’s amazing,” Wrice said while adding that she wants to pay all “dues and respect” to Solange and Destiny’s Child's original version, but also incorporating her own unique style.
The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder is set to premiere on Disney+ on February 23.
